Sailing away, by Chris de Burgh, from the album Flying Colours.

(Intro)         
(Verse 1)

Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
                            
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
                              
I was just a boy,     I was just a boy,
                                                   
Dreaming of the wide world,       dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)

Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
                    
All the places I have never been;
                                   
Looking out to sea,      looking out to sea,
                                              
Dreaming of a wide world,      dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
                       
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
                             
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
                    
With you tonight,      with you tonight
(Verse 3)

Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
                        
I am watching where the shadows fall,
                                     
Looking at the girls,    listening to the girls,
                                               
Dreaming of a new world,     dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
                     
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
                             
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
                                      
In your arms tonight,      in your arms tonight
(Outro)
                              
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
                        
Sailing away, with you now,      with you now.
       (repeat to fade)
